Shima received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Shima needs $350 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Khulna.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working night deliveries, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $350 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $200
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
Glad we found this place.

Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Jakarta
Sending good thoughts, Shima. Your post was clear and honest.
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Duque de Caxias so I could bring a meal.
Hope it all works out, Shima. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 25 people at work. Love from Dehiwala.
